Here is a copy and paste of a message sent from McGrath Jeep to the Mississippi Valley Jeep Club:

"Just wanted to see if you could pass along the word to any of your members in the Cedar Rapids area about our 3rd Anual Jeepfest. It is being held at Pat McGrath Dodge Country 4610 Center Point Rd NE in Cedar Rapids, IA on Thursday July 22nd from 5-8pm. We plan on grilling hambergers and hotdogs for everyone and will be handing out Jeep hats, shirts, etc. We also plan on having several Catagories Jeep owners can enter including "Biggest Baddest Jeep", "Most Modified Late Model", "Best Old School", and even best "Good Olí Beater". There will be trophies handed out to all the winners. Eventhough this is more of a Jeep "Showcase" to show off all the Jeep Creations, we are in the process of trying to haul in some dirt for a very moderate play area to drive on. This is the third year of our event and it gets bigger and better every year. We would love to see all the Jeepers in the area come have some fun!"

I have not attended this previously but figured it might be a good opportunity to meet other local Jeep owners.
